It is a cruel necessity that remembrance of that corruption and unmitigated evil must become a holiday tradition, but a necessity is precisely what it is.
I, for one, will never forget; I still have my "essential worker" travel pass that allowed me to avoid being arrested for driving across town from home to work. When friends or family try to pretend it never happened, I "show them my papers," along with the video of Los Angeles police arresting a paddleboarder on an empty beach in southern California.
That I would have to provide documentary evidence of something everyone knew of at the time, is why this cruel holiday tradition is a matter of necessity.
The paddleboarder was actually in the water, by himself, with no one else in sight, except the patrol boat that chased him to shore so they could arrest him. Shameful.
We were chased from the shore of the intercoastal in a park, in the "free state of Florida" on July 4, 2020 by county sheriffs in a patrol boat. There were others on the shore, none close to the other, they tried to chase everybody away. We tried playing cat-and-mouse with them by crouching in the bushes until they passed but they spotted us, got on their megaphone and threatened to cite/arrest us if we didn't leave. We knew others were nearby doing the same. I told my partner that as long as we held their attention they wouldn't be able to focus on the others nearby. We did this as long as we could until they were pulling up to the shore and about to disembark and come to us. I considered it taking one for the team by keeping them occupied with our disobedience. There are more of us than them. If only more used the same strategy they'd have given up trying to control us. Sadly, too many do what they are told without a fight, leaving the few, bravely disobedient subject to persecution.
Do you happen to know the date this featured White House statement was issued?
Or the date of Biden's horrifying speech where he threatened the unvaccinated, his arms waving and face contorted, as he stood at a podium, background bathed in ominous red light?
The "fifteen days to stop the spread" announcement was issued on March 16, 2020, Kathleen.
Biden's "our patience is wearing thin" speech, was made on September 26, 2021, but that wasn't his Orwellian "generalissimo-style" threat speech.
That speech was made at Independence Hall on September 1, 2022.
Based on what I have observed, it would appear that President Trump learned a hard lesson, and learned it well, when he watched what seemed like a momentary and very limited response to the hysteria surrounding the regional epidemics that the "novel coronavirus" precipitated, become a world-destroying series of totalitarian house-arrests and existential-threat-level extortion to ingest the experimental gene-expression prophylactics.
There's nothing the president can do to reverse the deadly harm his credulity unleashed, but he appears to be rendering an unannounced restitution for it, with a number of his current policies and executive orders.
For six decades, I'd been hearing my conservative friends and acquaintances call for a business executive approach to running the country. I didn't disagree entirely, but none of those people really understood the executive mindset, operational styles and methods. There are several, but Donald Trump, the businessman, is of a type.
That type is common among CEOs that must make decisions on the basis of information presented as curated gists by subordinates. I refer to it as the "gladiator style," wherein the executive does not engage with the minutiae; he or she lets their credentialled subordinates "fight it out" and the "winner's" business case is implemented.
Bad move, Mr. President, when you have a Fauci, Collins and Birx sticking the bureaucratic equivalent of corporate knives into a sincere, ingenuous type like Doctor Atlas (as was, of course; smart man who I'm sure learned from that experience.)
I tell you, Kathleen, that I have watched this play out in business environments for over four decades, and rarely does the business case that's best for organizational stability and long-term viability "win." The reason, is that the combatant roles select for psychopathy and narcissism. I've seen many a loyal and competent manager undone by dark triad types that control information flow to senior executives.
It's a bitter lesson, finally learned only when the knife in one's back has reached something vital. Been there, done that and seen the lives of many competent, loyal people savaged by what usually becomes a form of internecine looting by hit-and-run psychopaths.
....but I digress. Hopefully, I've answered your questions; the congressional record will verify the dates I provided.
I haven't been sick since the 24-hour flu I had in 2018 when I was run down. I hugged people who said they were isolating for convid in 2020-22. I kissed my sick wife in 2021. The whole idea you can make other people sick by even that type of intimate contact is bullshit. If your terrain is maintained properly you won't get sick from other's respiratory illness. Fact. We have ZERO responsibility or obligation to try to protect others from illness only they are able to protect themselves from. Especially no obligation to take any elixir or potion that evil sorcerers have concocted for us to take.
FJB. F all the people behind his Autopen administration and state, local officials who collaborated. I do not wish any of them well. Unless by 'well' that means misery and early, agonizing death.
While I think you *might* be a little strident in your wishes for those losers, you are absolutely on-point when you state that the whole idea of making other people sick. That concept--transmission of a virus via intimate contact--has been disproved with direct experimentation, IIRC multiple times.
Perhaps. My Creator frowns upon it. The memory the Stack presents evokes strident wishes. I ask my Creator for his forgiveness at judgement day that my fallen human nature expresses over memories like this.
"𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗩𝗘 done the right thing, and 𝗪𝗘 will get through this".
Biden got Covid at least twice in the next few years. Many vaccinated people got Omicron.
I didn't get Omicron that winter, but I did get it the following Spring. It was less intense than many flus I've had, and I was over it in 3 days. And I'm unvaccinated. So.
I got Covid during Delta--or at least a positive swab test. I had no symptoms, except I lost my sense of taste and smell for about 3 weeks. And, no, I wasn't crazy enough to stick something into my body that had (maybe) been tested for 90 days. The swab people reported me to the county and someone called me to twist my arm to get vaccinated. I laughed at her. Why on earth would I want to get vaccinated AFTER I was infected and developed nature's own perfect immunity? She had no answer so I hung up.
I smelled gasoline everywhere I went for nearly 3 months after my bout. When that symptom popped up, I thought it was the leaky carburetor in the Model A parked below my apartment in the garage, but then I noticed it at work, at the grocery store, at my girlfriend's house... I used to like the smell, but after that, it just makes me queasy. Thanks, Tony and your cronies...
It's been sweet being sick and dead for the last 4 years. Thank you Omicron for being so deadly. That government...they sure are on the ball. I was scared crapless and oh, what a rush. What are you guys cooking up for 2026? CoV-3? Is the skunk out of the bag?
The sentiment is tempting, to be sure, but I would rather see all of them hale and hearty as they serve long, long sentences in a federal penitentiary.
Here in Canada, CBC radio pushes flu shots every hour on the news, warning us that "three Canadian children between the ages of 5 and 9 have already DIED from the especially nasty A flu strain that's going around." Telling us that "it's REALLY important to get the flu shot to protect yourself so you won't get sick and spread it to others who are vulnerable. This year it is NOT a good match to the strains that are going around. Flu viruses are always mutating. So get your shot before Christmas." Absolutely insane logic.
Never forget. Never forgive.
Thank you for reminding us. We should never forget.

Thank you for those dates, Ted. I agree it's important to mark them as turning points in recent history.
And, with respect to your interesting digression, what you've shared rings true from my own observations in banking and insurance.

What else would you expect from that dimwit and his administration!
C**TS!
Surely your Government have promised to sort out Big Pharma CORRUPTION! Isn't the murderous cover-up aided and abetted by the 1986 US PREP Act?
Terminate the PREP ACT and Big Pharma will have nowhere to hide!

Thanks for the reminder. Never forget.
It's been sweet being sick and dead for the last 4 years. Thank you Omicron for being so deadly. That government...they sure are on the ball. I was scared crapless and oh, what a rush. What are you guys cooking up for 2026? CoV-3? Is the skunk out of the bag?
I hope his cancer is progressing nicely. Evil regime.
The sentiment is tempting, to be sure, but I would rather see all of them hale and hearty as they serve long, long sentences in a federal penitentiary.
That's another good possibility...but seeing how the court systems work I won't hold my breath. Death is too good for them...but at least it's final.
They aren't mentally well.

And now fully boosted Dementia Joe has stage 4 cancer. How ironic.
